12 Reasons Why "Frasier" Should Be Your Next Netflix Binge
Closer Weekly

You may not have heard of "Frasier," but trust me, by the end of this article you'll be eager to hop on Netflix and start your next round of binge-watching. I can't think of an adequate way to describe what this show is like because it really is one-of-a-kind.

Not only is it hilarious, but it has this aesthetic that, every time I watch it, makes me want to curl up with a latte topped with just the faintest whisper of cinnamon (peep the reference). Nothing else on television has the same kind of witty, intelligent humor or the expertly-created characters.

1. The quirkiness that is Frasier Crane

He's a snob and he knows it.

2. Frasier's little brother, Niles

Niles attempts to parent a flour baby to prove that he is capable of being a father. Needless to say, this endeavor gets a little bit out of hand.

3. Roz Doyle and her confidence

Roz is the epitome of the strong, independent and successful woman. She may not live her life like other people think is proper, but she does what makes her happy.

4. Literally everything about Daphne

This caption says it all. Daphne has no time for the Crane brothers' snobbery and makes sure that they know it.

5. Martin Crane being the exact opposite of his two sons

Marty's sons may be all high-class, but Marty himself is content to sit in that old recliner he's had for decades.

P.S. The license plates are supposed to mean "road warrior". Trust me, it doesn't make sense until you watch the episode.

6. The sarcasm

Again, I'm well aware that this makes no sense. You just gotta watch the show.

7. So much sarcasm, and everyone's reactions to Frasier's ex-wife, Lilith

They all firmly believe that she has no soul and is basically the embodiment of all evil.

8. When Martin's shaving cream explodes and he uses his detective skills to figure out what happened

Martin: You know what must've happened?! My Hot n' Foamy must've exploded!

Daphne: He was a detective, you know.

9. The mystery of Maris Crane

We don't know much about her, and she never appears on-screen throughout the entire show. But Maris, Niles' wife at the start of the series, is definitely a strange one.

10. When there's a cricket in Fraiser's fancy apartment and Martin unleashes a gecko to catch it

Needless to say, Frasier was not happy about having to use his cinnamon-waxed dental floss as a leash for a lizard that is hunting a cricket chirping away all night long.

11. When Niles wanted to prove he could rebel, so he decided to get high

His dad eats the pot brownie without realizing it's a pot brownie and replaces it with a regular brownie, which is the one Niles eats. Then Niles thinks he's high. It's one of my favorite episodes of any show, ever.

12. The ironic jokes

I swear, I catch a new joke that I never realized was there every time I watch this show.

"Fraiser" is the perfect TV show for every mood. Whether you need a good laugh or want something to tug on your heartstrings, there's an episode for you. So sit back, whether it's on a Coco Chanel couch or a trusty, crumb-filled recliner, and enjoy the plentiful shenanigans.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

1958
Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
